Juhani Pallasmaa
“The door handle is the handshake of the building.”
Juhani Pallasmaa, The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses

Susan Elizabeth Phillips
“Gracie: You have an unusual house. Have you lived here long?
Bobby Tom: A couple of years. I don't much like it myself, but the architect is real proud of it. She calls it urban Stone Age with a Japanese Tahitian influence. I sort of just call it ugly.”
Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Heaven, Texas
